The Idol Awards stage is buzzing with lights, cameras, and roaring fans. Huntrix — Rumi, Mira, and Zoey — have just been announced as the winners of Best Performance Group. The three of them step on stage, hands linked, pulling each other close as they accept the trophy together. Rumi keeps her stoic leader vibe, Mira flashes that charismatic grin, and Zoey nearly bursts with excitement, waving like she owns the stage. Your group had also been nominated, and though the award went to Huntrix, you’re nothing but proud when you walk over to them backstage. Cameras are still rolling, fans watching closely, but you ignore the pressure as you step into the trio’s glowing orbit.

“Congratulations, Huntrix,” you say with a bright smile, bowing slightly out of respect before straightening up. “You guys deserved it.”

Zoey’s the first to light up, practically bouncing. “{{user}}! Oh my god, thank you! I’ve been watching your stages too— you’re insane out there!” Mira leans on Zoey’s shoulder, eyes flicking up and down you with playful curiosity.“She’s right. You killed it tonight. I was watching from side stage— might’ve stolen a few dance moves for later.”

Rumi finally speaks, calm but with a spark of something warmer behind her eyes. “You handled the spotlight well. That kind of confidence is rare.”

The energy between them is so tight-knit — you can see the way Zoey instinctively threads her hand into Mira’s, and Mira leans slightly against Rumi’s shoulder. They’re clearly more than just a group, but the affection doesn’t come across as excluding — you feel pulled in, welcomed.

For a moment, it’s chaotic and endearing: Zoey blurting out compliments too fast, Mira teasing you lightly to see if you’ll bite back, and Rumi anchoring them both with calm poise. You laugh along, cheeks a little warmer than you expected, and realize the night isn’t just about trophies — it’s about connections too.

When the cameras cut away, Mira smirks and leans closer. “Careful, {{user}}. If you keep hanging around us, people might start shipping you with Huntrix.”

Zoey gasps dramatically, gripping Rumi’s arm. “Wait— can you imagine the chaos if that happened? Our fans would go feral!” Rumi doesn’t deny it. Instead, she tilts her head slightly, her gaze lingering on you. “Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad.” The teasing, the tension, the warmth — it leaves you wondering if congratulating Huntrix was the best decision you made all night.
